moral dilemna

by zanex in

i have been df'd for a good long time and have gone/going through the different stages of the healing process but i dont think that i am anywhere to giving up all of my deep-seated anger and hostility that i continue to have.

i have gotten attatched to it, ironically enough.

my moral and maybe somewhat ethical delimmna is: i am in a service provider position and i provide translation services for members of a specific community of interest...problem is that a certain person has come into my focus of the world...an elder.......a great many bones in my body want to manipulate and maneuver his life into the palm of my hand....then crush him.

zanex i understand the anger you must be feeling but remember he is an individual and you are angry at the org and whatever it is they have done to you and others, and he may still be in the dark about things just like we were once.

he is probrably just doing what he thinks is right, put yourself in his shoes imagine if you were he and someone else was feeling that about you, the best way to deal with it if you dont want much to do with him is just see him as u do any other person just another human being, and treat him like you would want to be treated, take his elder label off, remember hes a person too, please remember that you are angry at the organisation as a whole not an indvidual, and im sure underneath all your pain and anger you are a loving person, or striving to be one, so look on this person with pity that he doesnt know what you know ok, its not his fault hes been mislead by them just like we have, and hes not a mind reader he doesnt know what you have suffered, so to take it out on him as an individual would not be fair, i know youl do the right think my friend...

What happened inbetween?

by freedom96 in

i used to ask my elder dad: what about those who lived inbetween the bible days, and when the witnesses started?.

the wts teaches that no one will survive unless they are a witness.

they may dance around that issue with a "wordly" person, but, that really is the way they teach.. so we have the people talked about in the bible, and then we go until the very end of the 1800's.

I think she meant who was taking care of the so called true worship during that hugeeeeeeeeee gap LOL

Some Old Bethel Wisdom

by metatron in

i survived years at bethel during a period of great tension - there were lots.

of nervous breakdowns and people suddenly leaving because they couldn't take it anymore.. one lesson that i never forgot is: watch out for the self righteous types - they're.

often the first to flip out.. the rest of us complained and got drunk - chased tail at witness 'get togethers'.

metatron you just made my day HUUGEEEEEEEE HUGS FOR YOU!!!!! THAT MAKES ME FEEL SOOOO MUCH BETTER LOL

thanks so much

Poll: Which is worse, Dubs or Morons???

by WingCommander in

just a poll for today:.

which is worse, the j'dubs or the mormons (moroni)????

in my opinion both are pretty screwed in the head.

nelly1

what it boils down to is, what does the creator want from us?? not any organised religion, nowhere in the bible does it say it has to be organised, all jesus did was sent our his apostles to tell people there was a better future than that under the yoke of the corrupt jewish religious leaders, and he didnt say to them right keep up the hours and pioneer I want you to pioneer and dont forget to put your report in the box and if u r a bad bad boy u will get publicly reproved and wont be able to answer at the meeting on sunday, or maybe i'l privately reprove you but you still cant answer or maybe if u really rreally bad youl get dissfellowshipped and you cant talk to me again until I say so.

think about it people, its not what its all about, god is a god of love, and he is the ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEAKNESS AND WICKEDNESS, hes a reader of hearts we cant do that, so he is the best person to judge us, so at the end of the day the judging the saving and the destroying will be by him and only him at the hands of his wonderful son who was the most loving fair person that ever was, so no need to worry he has his finger on the pulse

love to all nelly

More Statistics - Even more to die at Armageddon!

by eyeslice in

jw

it comes up time and again in the wts literature and meetings just how jehovah is patient and loving by allowing this system to go on, thus allowing more people to be saved.. but, the figures dont add up.. i know that witnesses dont really believe that baptism is being born again, but on the other hand, it is implied that those who are not baptized are in danger at armageddon.

this was brought out at this years dc, where young ones were urged to "seriously consider getting baptized".. .

i am aware that figures can be made to say anything but in the table below, i have attempted to look at the difference between physical births and "spiritual" births, i.e.

nelly1

oh man you know what eye? we had a Co visit before i left and 3 times he said this in a talk and we had students in the audience, he said you must be a dedicated baptised person to enter into the new world and survive armageddon, I thought god what about the unbaptised publishers who are doing the same as baptised ones but technically arnt baptised, that is like saying jehovah is partial and he most certainly IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that makes my blood boil with righteous indignation.

I remember ones in my cong getting annoyed about what he said and challenging him and you know what he reiterated that yes he believed they wouldnt make it unless they get baptised, you know why they want us baptised ?? because then they can hold judicial commitees on us whereas they dont have the authority if u r not so more control grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i was thinking about jesus and how the bible says he is the exact representation of jehovahs very being, and u know what it is nothing like these awful so called christians, and i was thinking jesus himself had to abandon his own religion because its leaders were gross hypocrites and treating his sheep like dirt, so he left it and condemned it and he to as a result was severly shunned and u could say dissed in a form because they denounced him as having anything to do with jehovah if u remember, and he was persecuted also by these leaders just like the ones who leave the organisation today they too are persecuted by the so called true religion so it is coming further and more clear to me as days go by if we look further below the surface we see that he the only begotton son king of gods kingdom went through exactly what we are going through he was abused called a liar they said he was a seditionist the list goes on and he too had an illegal trial ( could be called a judicial) by the religious leaders of his day and his sentance was death, and we know that the jews were his chosen people we dont know that the wtbs is.!!!

!..now that i think about all this stuff it is such a comfort to me, as so many are experiencing illegal trials at the hands of the elders(pharissees) and i know this because i was one of them i had a illegal trial where lies were told just like poor jesus, so he of all people knows only too well what these dear brothers and sisters have suffered, and i beleive with all my heart that he will pay back to those ones they have no future, and one day we will have the happiness we deserve at his hand and anyone else who deserves to including all of you every last one whos heart is right and loves jesus and the creator, i know he will not forget any of us and what we have suffered, jesus was for the underdog not the high and mighty proud know it alls, so take heart and hang in there.... lots of love nelly

i know i know im terrible for that, when im writing and have lots to say, i tend to run off at a tangent, but that all came to me in a revelation while lying in my bed where i do my best thinking, awwww thank you brummie that made my day.

I just wanted to bring some comfort to you all, i had never thought that either about jesus before and then it just hit me, and you know what else???? Jehovah never dissaproved of how Jesus handled it he let them (PHAIRISEES) have it and called them offspring of vipers, which is a nice way of saying you pack of *&^%$$ a** holes LOLOLOL from what i can understand calling someone the offspring of a viper was a pretty nasty insult in those days, so u know we need not be so hard on ourselves because if our creator allowed his beloved son to condemn his so called chosen race and religion which was set up by jehovah himself given to moses, then we for sure can condemn any that claims to bear his name and does such dispicable acts of wickedness, HOLD UP YOUR HEADS YOU GUYS AND REMEMBER TO SAY "I ( INSERT NAME) LIKE AND BELEIVE IN MYSELF AND I AM IN CONTROL" now go say that to yourself in the mirror, and do it as many times as you can it builds you up and replaces the self esteem and feelings of empowerment that they took from you. LOVE AND HUGGGSS TO ALL OF YOU
